Hey guys,

Ive done a bit of searching but i cant find an electronic boost controller that suits my needs, any suggestions?

Ive got a PFC, i want to be able to adjust between high and low boost from within the cabin and for it to do the turbo timing as well.

Cheers

you wont get a boost controller that will be a turbo timer aswell. near all electronic boost controllers have high and low settings. avcr, the pfc boost controller, greddy ones, blitz ones the list goes on and on. i personally use the avcr and find it a dream.

Don't know if anyone's using a HDI but i was considering them at one stage.

Thier turbo timer is seperate too don't forget.

I passed on them though as some peeps have the older style electronic boost controllers by them and the solenoid didn't seem to be up to scratch, the ones with the 2 dials on the front whcih would sit over the ash tray in most examples.

The newer ones (which i think looks pretty cool) uses the same solenoid at first glance so i passed....

But considering you have a PFC, you can get the FC Boost kit for $350 delivered

Also Profec II for $370 and the list goes on......heaps cheap when ordering direct for Jap.

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
